Pres. Rodrigo Duterte warned President Barack Obama on Monday not to question him about extra-judicial killings, or "son of a bitch I will swear at you" when they meet in Laos during a regional summit. Obama, at the G-20 meeting this week in China, canceled a meeting with Duterte scheduled for today. Duterte said before flying to Laos that he is a leader of a sovereign country and is answerable only to the Filipino people. He was answering a reporter’s question about how he intends to explain the extra-judicial killings to Obama. More than 2,000 suspected drug pushers and users have been killed since Duterte launched a war on drugs after taking office on June 30.
